Great first double pedal

The double pedal is really good, it's easy to set up and put down, the spring tension can be difficult to set and hurts your fingers though, I noticed the beater has become bent but that could just be me kicking too hard! Overall, this is really good, and I highly recommend

QualiBoom Boom

It's been 6 years of using it and still has its quality like a boom boom!

Indestructible

Best bang for your buck. Sturdy construction and good quality materials.

Adjustability 8.5/10

4 way beaters are very convenient for multiple applications.

I have mine without the left pedal's spring, like other or most double pedals. Just the 2 springs on the main pedal. Finding that "sweet spot" with 3 springs is a bit difficult. For those players that are looking for extreme tension on the left pedal, leave it on and go for it!

Extremely good for its price!

Bought it about a month ago and i have no regrets. It has a lot of variety reguarding spring tension and beaters. Each beater has 4 sides and ive noticed that the plastic side works best for electric rubber drum pads. If you’re on a budget and need a double pedal, i recommend you buy this one!

good price for this quality

Great first double pedal

Very reasonable price for what your getting. A solid addition to any beginner or intermediate kit. Watch out for lag on the slave pedal, reducing the angle its at compared to the main pedal usually helps. Other than that have no complaints. Less customization and fewer options than more expensive pedals, but does the a perfectly good job!

A great introduction to the double pedal world

I have a decent set of E-drums, and I wanted to give double pedals a go. After reading reviews and watching some youtube videos, I decided to give the pd-669 a try, thinking that in worst case scenario, I didn't spend much money. Let me tell you, I feel like I made the right decision. the pedals are sturdy and comfortable, and it's easy to adjust them to your liking. the arm that connects the pedals is adjustable too, which help me try different positions with my set. all in all, I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to delve into the double pedal world.

my son is happy and the delivery is fast, thanks !!!

BEST PEDALS FOR THE PRICE!

No matter if you are a begginer or a longtime pro, these pedalas are GREAT. I've played Tama, PDP, Pearl, and these pedals are just as good as any other big brand pedal.

However, it all depends on your technique. I'm able to play different techniques with it but it's because I've been practicing for quite sometime. If you have great technique, these pedals can serve you well as any other 500 USD double pedal.

good for home

i use these with my Millennium MPS 750X and they work fine for my home use

A very good double bass pedal. Very strong material quality. :)

Surprisingly durable!

Bought for a college project and found it was an amazing addition to my drum collection.

For the price range it's close to the lower end pearl kick pedals in my opinion.

Hardware isn't as pretty to look at but it sure does react really nicely off the bat with little to no adjustments to be done

for a beginner

im a beginner double bass drummer, and really, this pedal set is great!

How do Millenium do it

This is a fantastic pedal. I remain at a loss as to how Millenium manage to make such good quality so cheaply.

The case was an unexpected bonus. Finally, I can play double kick drums.

Millenium double bass pedal

Great pedal for the price, heavy, big and chunky....great!

Best and most durable double bass pedal you can buy for less than 100?

TL:DR: Cheap, easy to setup, reliable and comes with a transport bag. Best double bass pedal that you can buy on a budget.! (just have a screwdriver handy in case a screw gets loose)

I bought this pedal in July of 2015, during that summer I started getting serious with my metal drumming and got interested in double bass techniques. I remember going crazy about those double bass parts in Metallica's "One". So I decided to order this pedal as a starting point. From there till now this has been the pedal that has stuck with me from my garage playing days to me joining a band, playing my first couple of gigs and recording my first EP. Is it perfect? No. But is it one a good entry point for aspiring double bass players? Hell yes!!!

Pros

-Ease of use: I remember the day I got it in the mail, I was a matter of minutes until the pedal was all setup in my beginners electronic drumkit. You just need to attach the rod that connects the main pedal to the slave pedal, place the beaters at your desired height (but not too low, which ill discuss in the cons section), adjust the tension and you're good to go!

-Stability: This a solid and stable pedal, you have 2 spikes and a full metal base in each of the pedals that assure that they won't go anywhere.

-Versatility: You can adjust the pedals the way you like it, for example: a few months ago I started playing in a rehearsal room with my band and the room's drumkit had the smallest hi-hat stand and the legs wouldn't allow me to place the double pedal under them, so I had to extend the slave pedal so that it was left of the hi-hat stand. I was pretty amazed at how much it would stretch. Another cool thing, is that you can attach a beater to the slave pedal and use it on a kit with 2 bass drums (it also has a clamp to attach to the second bass drum)

-Durability: The fact that I own this pedal for 3.5 years and I use it on a regular basis for long amounts of time and with serious abuse is a statement to the durability of this beast. I used it on 2 electronic kits with rubber pads and now on my acoustic kit. When I take it with me to my gigs and rehearsals I just disconnect the rod and throw it inside a gym bag and of it goes! I thought about upgrading my pedal, but since I'm always short on money for drumming, whenever I buy something for my kit I don't see the need to buy a new pedal because this one simply works how it's supposed to.

-Price: It's cheap!!!! And also comes with a transport bag!!! However I can't review the bag because I never used it. When I got this pedal I never had to take it out of my kit, so my mom used it as a bag for storing clothing and eventually lost it... You could've come in handy now a days.

Cons

-Loose screws: When you buy this pedal you'll find screws in your drum rug from time to time. Nothing that a screw drive won't fix, but it's a bit annoying after a while. Mine is already missing a support screw under the slave pedal, so if it isn't aligned (which it should be in order to have an ergonomic drum kit) the pedal can wobble a bit during playing. So have a screwdriver always handy.

-A bit squeaky: With time, and as the lubrication starts to wear off, the pedal can start squeaking a bit. Just apply some lubricant and that problem will be gone.

-The second beater holder has a bit of a design flaw: The second beater holder is held in place by a metal curve piece that can get in the way of the beater rod if it is placed too low. The only solution I see is to cut the beaters metal rod or to just place the beater at a higher position. If you're playing in a 22" bass drum it won't be a big problem, big in a 20" you'll need to place the beater above the center of the head to avoid this trouble (which will affect the sounds of the bass drum).

-Quality: It's a cheap product, so the finish sometimes isn't the best. After 3.5 years the black ink in the pedals has a faded a bit and one of the heads of the drum lugs that adjusts the beater horizontally has broken off (however, nothing that really affects the use of the pedal). Also, for some reason the beaters don't really line up when they are at a resting position, don't really know why, but it's something I can live with. Asides from some minor corrosion there's really nothing more that's wrong with it.

Conclusion: If you want a cheap, reliable and easy to use double bass pedal that will be at your side through your evolution as a drummer you should look no further and order this right now!
